Update by user Mar 14, 2021 Steel toe shoes.com sells work shoes they are not agroup to settle a dispute. However they were helpfulIn explaining all work boots have a one year guarantee.I now understand with the severe service that work boots see that is a reasonable guarantee.I wore mine very seldom and the materials completelydeteriorated in 5 years Very disappointed.I would not buy Wolverine boots as the materials were unsatisfactory and completely failed.After studying and looking at work boots I would make sure the soles are sewed on and not formed and glued. Original review posted by user Feb 12, 2021 I noticed sole crumbling around the contact with the upper portion. All of a sudden the entire sole loosened from the heel to the Toe where it stayed attached. I am 80 and only wore the Boots when mowing and yard work. The uppers are in excellent Shape, the shoe strings failed early. I bought them from Bass Pro a d thought I was buying a premium product.
